ChefGary Caters for Winchester Private Dinner Party
This weekend, ChefGary catered a superb three course dinner party near Winchester, celebrating a baby shower for Tracy and her friends. Upon receiving a warm welcome and settled with a good coffee, I was left setting up everything for the evening whilst the gentlemen of the house were being shipped off out :) We always start with laying the table and then the food prep comes out, which mostly just needs finishing off after many hours of preparation before arrival. We had shared platters of canapes to start off and then a further four delectable courses followed at the dining table - all going down fabulously! It was most definitely a rewarding evening and I shall look forwards to the next one :)
